Turn your hand to pottery at Turning Earth! This fantastic pottery and ceramics studio are offering fully socially distanced classes at their studio in Argall Ave. The classes are taught by ceramic artists from their community hub for professional makers, In Production. You’ll spend time learning the steps to make your own pieces of work, from hand-building with soft clay to using a pottery wheel to adding details once the clay hard hardened to a leathery texture, as well as the various different techniques you can use to achieve different shapes and styles. If you’re looking to set some time aside to learn a new skill then this is a great activity to add to your Stack!
Turning Earth is all about community, creating a space where potters of all skill levels can work together. Their beautiful studios in East London make a perfect environment to get creative and channel inspiration into your work.
Your course at Turning Earth will cover everything you need to know, but here are some general tips to keep in mind:
Due to the nature of pottery, these courses are a little bit more time consuming than other activities, with full courses ranging from 8-12 weeks. However you are welcome to pop into a couple of classes for shorter periods of time in order to complete one piece, but you will need to come and pick up any kiln-fired pieces 4 weeks later.
